This is the story of Luftwaffe Ace Major Helmut Wick. His rapid rise through the ranks of the German Air force in WW2 until his final battle high above the Isle of Wight in the late afternoon of November 28th 1940. So revered was he by his homeland, that they contacted the British to ask if he had been rescued from the cold water of the English Channel. Along with his brave opponent, he was lost.
